1st Set: "Promised" nicely explodes upon landing. It's a quick and darting performance. Jerry welcomes us with a "Candyman" that's awfully marred by the terrible muted sound quality. "Cassidy" is a ripsnorter. "Tennessee Jed" is nicely harmonized, but is stifled by a sluggish pace. Tho, Jerry does hit some nice notes when it counts. "Es Paso" is passionately read by Bobby. "Jack" sounds about the same as it did last night, but is a tad snappier and a tad less flavorful. "LLR" fills out the power ballad slot nicely as well as thematically fitting after the hard-won love affair of 'Jack.' The intent is there for "Stagger," but they have got to pick up its pace. "Passenger" is high-energy, if not particularly distinctive. One of the first "China/Rider's" since its Winterland 12/29/77 is well-received tho never takes off til the later, whose dynamite is Not fully appreciated by this yucky tape.

2nd Set: Nice change of pace, opening with a "NFA." Random excursions lead to a nice slide and lead interplay at 5:45 through 6:30. Jerry then takes off on his own magical journey til we reconvene to sing a haunting outro...things get quiet and then BOOM... "Miracle" time. Crowd certainly appreciating the silence to over the top rock n roll. "Bertha" continues the good times with an agreeable if not standout version. "Good Lovin" raises the stakes yet again, and now I'm pissed that this tape is providing only half the requisite sound quality needed to fully enjoy this impressive set. "From the Heart of Me" does what's necessary, and provide a moment to chill. Rumble me gently, let's sway to a soothing "He's Gone." It's patient, comforting and well-told; Jerry remains on stage with the drummers for an extended noodling session that's not distancing because of the hearty meal being presented to us by the band this evening. "Drums/Space" pass the test, which sails into a "Truckin" that's decent, but carries with it a little less energy, a little more mellow, than the songs pre-Drums. "Comes a Time" is a beautiful choice as something with the neglectful, mourning "Black Peter" or "Wharf Rat." "Around and Around" concludes matters on a righteous note, building us all into a slightly uncontained frenzy.
Let's continue the party by throwing KC a decent "Shakedown" encore.

If it wasn't for this shoddy tape, this would be a 4 star experience. As it is, it's a 3 1/2 rated downward for an honest appraisel of the sound.
